Mo Fan had barely recovered from the mental shock before his survival instincts kicked in.
"Looks like I won't be able to fish for scraps after all. Damn…"
"The last wave wasn't too strong, but who knows if I'll survive the next?"
"Forget it—staying alive matters more."
Just as he was about to sneak away on tiptoes, he spun around—and slammed into a broad, solid chest.
"You blind, brat? Daring to bump into your grandpa?"
"You itching for a beating?"
A powerful voice boomed, full of aggression.
Mo Fan raised his head, only to break into a cold sweat.
Several red-haired men stood before him, all wearing identical uniforms emblazoned with the symbol of the Fire Leopard Sect.
At the front was none other than the sect master, Huo Yanbao, who glared down at him with open disdain.
"S-Sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going! My mistake! I'll be going now."
Mo Fan bowed hastily and apologized, inwardly cursing his luck.
So the Fire Leopard Sect had shown up too?
Huh?
Both sides had Titled Douluo now. Would they fight each other?
If they did… wouldn't that give him another chance to fish for scraps?

While the atmosphere is growing tense, Lin Feng saw that six people among them had purple-tier traits.
Four were highly talented, but two stood out:
[Sect-Destroying Douluo (Purple)]: After the destruction of your sect, you will begin a path to power, ultimately becoming a Titled Douluo.
It reminded Lin Feng of one of his previous traits, [Century Douluo].
[Pure Yin Physique (Purple)]: You possess a body of a pure Yin female soul masters. Those who engage in dual cultivation with you will greatly accelerate their cultivation speed.
Lin Feng nodded to himself—great trait, if only Dugu Yan could refresh one like that.
Meanwhile, Fire Dragon glanced toward the disturbance, stunned.
Had the Fire Leopard Sect brought out their entire core force?
Lin Ye, standing confidently beside Dugu Bo, remained composed despite the pressure. With Dugu Bo backing him, he wasn't fazed at all.
Suddenly, two figures descended from the sky.
"Hehehe…"
"So many people here, eh, Old Ghost?"
Yue Guan wore a dazzling red robe, his bewitching face twisted into a mocking grin as he gazed down at the crowd.
Gui Mei said nothing, dressed in his usual black garb, replying only with a faint glance before turning his eyes downward.
Behind them, Hu Liena and the others curiously scanned the scene below.
"It's the Spirit Hall."
"They sent two Titled Douluo this time?"
Lin Ye stared upward, visibly shaken.
Others likewise fell silent as the oppressive aura washed over them.
Only Lin Feng remained unfazed, calmly looking up.
"One… two…"
"Damn, that's a lot of purple traits."
"All five of them have [Outstanding Talent]. The lowest innate soul power is 8 and a half?"
One trait on Hu Liena especially caught his eye:
[True Love of the Pope (Purple)]: You are Bibi Dong's reverse scale. Anyone who harms you will be punished by her.
As expected—Hu Liena really was the Pope's beloved.
Other purple traits included [Heaven's Favorite] for Hu Liena and Yue Guan's [Unrivaled Chrysanthemum].
"Shame... nothing worth copying right now."
Lin Feng shook his head regretfully.

High in the sky—
Yue Guan suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if noticing something.
"Well, well… if it isn't the old poison."
"Finally caught you."
"Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul Avatar!"
"Chrysanthemums fall, petals scatter, hearts shatter!"
Before anyone on the ground could react, Yue Guan launched his attack toward Dugu Bo.
The shattered petals of the Chrysanthemum spun like crescent blades, forming a massive golden cyclone.
"Heh."
"Yue Guan, I couldn't beat you before."
"But today… take a good look."
"Seventh Soul Skill—Martial Soul Avatar!"
Dugu Bo transformed into a massive thirty-meter-long green-scaled serpent, unleashing a cloud of poisonous mist to block the first assault.
Suddenly, the earth began to rumble again.
"Crap! The Flame Beast King is awakening!"
"Retreat from the center!"
Several Soul Kings and Soul Emperors quickly withdrew a few kilometers.
Between the awakening beast and Titled Douluo clashing, any stray shockwave could be lethal.
But Lin Feng stood firm.
He activated his Ultimate Fire and True Dragon Scales, shielding himself from the poison mist and soul power shockwaves.
"Dragon Seeking Compass, track the Fire Crystal…"
"Opportunities only favor the prepared!"
"Father, Yan'er—follow me!"
Lin Feng immediately activated his compass, confirming the beast's location.
Lin Ye and Dugu Yan locked eyes with him, nodded, and followed without hesitation.
The compass shook violently, the pointer drifting away from the center.
"It's moving…"
"Not good—the Flame Beast King is trying to escape underground!"
Lin Feng's eyes sharpened as he realized the danger.
The three of them poured soul power into their legs and charged.
"Make way! Move!"
Lin Feng shoved through a crowd, pushing aside Huo Yanbao.
"Where the hell do you think you're going, punk?!"
The sect master stepped forward, ready to stop him.
Boom! Boom!
Two more figures shot past—Lin Ye and Dugu Yan.
"Wait, he didn't say you could—"
"Father! Yan'er! Wrong direction!"
Lin Feng abruptly halted and turned, taking a different route.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
"Alright, I've had it!"
"Are you people done yet?!"
Huo Yanbao was boiling with rage after being shoved for the third time.
But in the next instant, their figures had already vanished into the distance.
"…Forget it. Just some nobodies."
He took a deep breath and redirected his attention skyward.
---
"How can this be? You're Rank 94?!"
Yue Guan's eyes widened as he sensed Dugu Bo's power level.
"Hahahaha!"
"Old Chrysanthemum! Didn't see this coming, did you?"
"Our unresolved grudge from years ago…"
"I've finally broken through my body's limits. From this day forward, the tide has turned."
"Let's see if your stupid flower wins—or my poison."
Dugu Bo reverted to human form, laughing heartily.
"Martial Soul Avatar—Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor!"
He transformed once again and soared into the sky, unleashing another wave of venom at Yue Guan.
Yue Guan hesitated for a moment and quickly retreated.
"You… healed your body?"
He turned midair, stunned.
He had long known that Dugu Bo's soul power had been stuck at Rank 91 since breaking into Titled Douluo. Something had clearly been holding him back.
But if that problem was gone…
Then his rise to Rank 94 made perfect sense.
